SeaWorld commercial. What in the world are they singing?

[Carl]

I don't know if the commercial goes anywhere but Texas, but can anyone tell me what in the world they are singing and in what language it is.

I wondered about it too. I found this response from a Sea World rep. to a question about the song on another website:

"Good Afternoon,
The song we use in our Commercial is in titled 'The Child Inside' and is sung by the South African Group named 'Qkumba Zoo.' The Sea World commercial was filmed during the months of September through November in 2002 and it aired internationally on January 1, 2003. All of our commercial was filmed at Sea World Adventure Park Orlando, an Anheuser-Busch Adventure Park."

Another person commented that Sea World used the song during the Shamu show.

The song really works well doesn't it?

Now for TMI, this is supposed to be the lyrics:

"Qkumba Zoo Lyrics: The Child Inside (Wake Up And Dream)

Who's that calling ? who's that who can show the way ? The child inside, The child who lives still in your eyes

ne ho ne ye he hiyo, ne ho ne yehe ha ne ho ne ye he hiyo, neho neho nehe hehe

Who's that dying, Trying for a space in the cage you call your life Who's that crying Crying out just what it is you've thrown away

it's the. . . The child inside, The child who lives still in your eyes

ne ho ne ye he hiyo, ne ho ne yehe ha ne ho ne ye he hiyo, neho neho nehe hehe

Who's that dancing Laughing crying living every day by day by day by day

It's the. . .

The child inside, its the child who lives still in your eyes ne ho ne ye he hiyo, ne ho ne yehe ha ne ho ne ye he hiyo, neho neho nehe hehe

Secret of the sun is in your eyes Take the power from your dreams and fly Children know it's magick that makes the world go round ..."

Interesting that you say that. Do you have the Qkumba Zoo cd?

I know my DH has been playing it via Mp3. As for the whole CD , I have no idea.

I knew I could depend upon the people here at the Dis to answer this for me. Thank you. And I agree it is a beautiful and appropriate song - almost spiritual.

I was just watching that commercial last night when I stopped and thought to myself, hey I like that song I'll post on the DIS tomorrow and see if anyone knows the name of it... and then I log on today and stumble across this thread... Freaky! LOL!

The trainer in the begining of the video is at the Orlando Shamu Show, seen her numerous times. I just love SW commercials, reminds me of when DFiance and I got engaged on the big screen during the Shamu Show (he had it all prearranged) last valentines day infront of a full stadium and all of my family.
